Hanging....at O'Connor's

Our art group has been meeting on Tuesdays for several years at O'Connor's restaurant in Multnomah Village. "Mainstay" members (artists who show up most regularly) get to show work in monthly shows for 90 day increments. We've dubbed this offshoot group "Eight+" because it generally works out to be eight or nine artists. At the end of our stint another artist takes over the walls for 90 days and then we get the walls back again. To use a much overworked phrase, it's a "win-win" because we get to experiment with scale (check the height of those ceilings!) and also, the customers seem to really appreciate the rotating art. On top of all this good news, we've even sold work from here! We always look forward to art discussion and breakfast..at O'Connor's.
